I wouldn’t go back there
Pros:

The room was nice and clean. However, it was on the second floor, and the stairs were very narrow. The staff helped with our suitcases on arrival, but carrying them down ourselves when leaving wasn’t easy.

Cons:

In the pictures, the place looked bigger, with more sunbeds. However, there was far too much smelly seaweed, and the area was full of mosquitoes. They ‘clean’ the seaweed by covering it with sand, which didn’t seem very effective. I wouldn’t go there again—the hotels farther away had cleaner beaches and nicer spots for an even better price. The breakfast was fine.

Rauhallinen muutaman päivän oleskelu kauniilla Holboxin saarella
Pros:

Hyvä sijainti aivan rannan tuntumassa. Listalta löytyi aina sopiva aamiaisvaihtohto ja se oli maukas.

Cons:

Sänky oli liian kova meidän makuun.

Séjour agréable mais la plage de l’hôtel n’est pas à la mesure des belles plages de l’île d’Holbox
Pros:

La chambre était très correcte
Le personnel est très sympathique

Cons:

Pas de petit déjeuner pour clients français
Le petit déjeuner était compris mais nous déjeunions à l’extérieur pour avoir des toast, des croissants et de la confiture

Holbox foi uma das experiência mais incríveis que já tive e o La Palapa fez parte disso.
Pros:

Da paz e tranquilidade do La Palapa, a poucos passos do mar.

Cons:

Poderia ter um chuveiro de água doce para tirarmos o sal após um merguljo no mar.
